Structural Change and the Kaldor Facts of Economic Growth

Föllmi, Reto; Zweimüller, Josef (2002). Structural Change and the Kaldor Facts of Economic Growth. Working paper series / Institute for Empirical Research in Economics No. 111, University of Zurich.

Abstract

"We present a model in which two of the most important features of the long-run growth process are reconciled: the massive changes in the structure of production and employment; and the Kaldor facts of economic growth. We assume that households expand their consumption along a hierarchy of needs and firms introduce continuously new products. In equilibrium industries with an expanding and those with a declining employment share co-exist, and each such industry goes (or has already gone) through a cycle of take-off, maturity, and stagnation. Nonetheless macroeconomic aggregates grow pari passu at a constant rate."
